Overview
- Footage from an October 10 show in Minneapolis shows Jimmy Carr calling Linehan brave and contrasting US free-speech protections with the UK.
- Police told Linehan they will take no further action over the social-media posts that led to his arrest by armed officers at Heathrow last month.
- The arrest related to three April tweets that officers said warranted investigation for inciting violence, including a post urging physical confrontation.
- Linehan posted that Carr privately visited him during his earlier period of being "cancelled" as he tried to salvage his marriage and career.
- Separate from the dropped probe, Linehan has appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court over allegations involving activist Sophia Brooks, with the adjourned case due to continue on October 29 and bail in place.
